Minified files blocks waterfall

  • Hi,

    Im using W3TC with minify

    Im detecting that css and js minified files takes a lot to load, blocking the following elements in the waterfall.

    If i use other minification plugin, like head cleaner, those minified files load instantaneously with no blocking at all

    Regular uncompressed css and js files are loaded with no blocking nor waiting neither

    I don know if the problem is related to number of files minified (can i limit the number of files to minify?) or its related to not limiting the number of characters in file name.
    Could this really be an issue loading minified files?

    Since i have no clue, any approach would be awesome

    Here is an example of the tests:

    Thanks and best regards

  • First I would recommend using a lazy load plugin or jetpacks photon because as it is the load time of it is mostly affected by images.

    As for the breaking I have noticed this quite recently as well, W3TC is rather slow in comparison to other plugins like Autoptimize..

    I recommend that you look into using CloudFlare to help levy the load on your server and this might help reduce the issue that you are having with the compressed files.
